“In the Beginning...”

"In the Beginning..." marks a standout moment in Superfan's run, spotlighting the arrival of the Smoggers' latest recruit: an egotistical placekicker whose confidence outpaces his skills. Written by Nick Meglin and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Jack Davis—both inks and pencils—this 1972 issue sees Superfan trading his superhero exploits for a milk bar, only to find fame comes with a side of trouble, courtesy of the Commissioner. The cover, also by Jack Davis, captures the moment with sharp, exaggerated flair.
